Dimetrius was a public safety officer at Dillard University and his wife Regina was just a few weeks into her new receptionist job when Hurricane Katrina struck. They made their home in New Orleans East with their two sons, Shamar and Raejan.

Since the Hurricane: The Prouts relocated to Hempstead, Texas. Despite missing New Orleans, they have no plans to move back because of the huge problems still facing the city. That doesn't stop their 5-year-old son Shamar from asking every day why they can't go back to New Orleans. Regina is a stay-at-home mom and is looking for receptionist jobs in Texas. Regina loves to write and aims to get her poetry published. Dimetrius is currently managing a Jack-in-the-Box Restaurant in Hempstead. His eldest son, Raejan, helped take the local high school football team to the state playoffs for the first time in 21 years.
